An analog-to-digital converting system for converting a composite video
signal into a digital signal according to a synchronized clock. The
analog-to-digital converting system includes an analog-to-digital
converter (ADC), a color burst phase estimator and a phase-locked loop
(PLL). The ADC converts the composite video signal to the digital signal
according to the synchronized clock, wherein the synchronized clock is
synchronized to a frequency of a color burst of a chrominance signal of
the composite video signal. The color burst phase estimator, coupled to
the ADC, estimates the phase of the color burst carried on the composite
video signal. The PLL, coupled to the color burst phase estimator,
generates the synchronized clock according to the phase of the color
burst estimated by the color burst phase estimator.
